November: The Winter Storm Machine Revs Up
November sees the transition accelerate. Average swell height is 0.8m (2.5ft) with a period of 12.8s, and the direction mix broadens: WSW leads with 36%, SW 26%, and W 26%. This is a classic North Pacific pre-winter combination, where west and southwest swells intertwine, creating long, clean lines at Huntington. The wind turns decisively offshore-friendly: ideal flow (NE 15%, ENE 7%) is back to 42% of the time, while onshore components make up only about 35%. The result is a month that can rival January for quality-just with slightly less size and consistency. The wave height distribution shows most energy in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) and 1-1.5m (3-5ft) classes, with some 1.5-2m (5-6ft) sets from W. Water temp drops to 16.4°C (61.5°F), air averages 17.1°C (62.8°F), and precipitation begins to climb to 0.77 mm/day. The jet stream is becoming your friend.
